When Pistis saw the impiety of the Lord Archon [who claimed to be the only god, though not even a true god] she was filled with anger. Acting in her invisible form, she spoke in this way: “You are mistaken, blind one — false deity who cannot see. There is an immortal luminous child, the Anthropos, who came into existence before you and who will appear among your automata. This luminous child will trample you in scorn just as a potter’s clay is pounded [into a lump]. And you will sink away to your proper zone, the abyss, along with those who belong to your legion. For at the consummation of your work, the entire defect [of Archontic illusion] exposed in the light of truth will be abolished, and [that illusion] will be as if it never had been.”
